In this session, the bystander intervention workshop leader reviews brain science–including the reality of emotional responses, their effect on brain chemistry, and the resulting triggering of our fight/flight/freeze survival responses.

Participants apply new knowledge and practice new skills by running scenarios of hate-based interactions with the goals of de-escalating the situations and supporting the target. Working as an aggressor, a target, or an intervening bystander, participants learn by doing, not by listening.

The next workshop is Sunday, September 15, 2019, from 2 to 4 pm at Admiral Congregational Church, 4320 SW Hill Street, Seattle. There will also be an opportunity to have an extra practice session on Sunday, October 6.

The workshop is FREE, but donations are accepted. To register, email antihate3@gmail.com or just walk in.

In addition to his evening performance, Jack has agreed to teach a daytime songwriting workshop from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M. It’ll emphasize how the guitar (or other instrument) plays a vital role in making the music whole, rather than being merely a “chord vehicle” or something to hide behind when performing a song. There’ll be special emphasis on the “Guitar as Greek Chorus,” as accompanist, inspiration, commentator, colorist, comforter, crutch, and equal partner in songwriting. He’ll also lead a gentle discussion and critique of songs written or in progress by the workshop attendees.

Cost for the 3-hour workshop is $20 adults and $10 students. Those attending the workshop will receive a 50% discount to Jack’s evening performance.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are radically changing the future of manufacturing.

Open Houses also give prospective students the opportunity to register for their classes.
